  • Manual Drills ​(Brace Drill, Eggbeater Drill)
    Manual Drills (Brace drill, Eggbeater drill) ​ Identify: Head, Handle, Chuck, Bits (drill and screw bits, which are inserted into the chuck) Accompanying Tools: Clamps (usually at least 2), Goggles Safety: ● Wear eye protection ● Clamp material to be drilled securely to a heavy object, with clamps on opposite ends of the wood ● Be cautious of delicate drill bits ● Lay drill carefully on its side when not in use, with bits aimed in from edge of table Operation for drilling holes: ● Clamp material down, with protective layer between material and table if necessary. A second piece of wood is usually sufficient. ● Insert correct bit or choose drill that has correct bit. Chuck is twisted counter-clockwise to loosen jaws that hold bit, clockwise to tighten ● Identify depth of material, hold drill bit on the side of the clamped wood to see how deep it will go, and to ensure that it won’t go into the table. ● Make dot or X on top of wood where hole is to be drilled. ● Hold operating handle with dominant (drawing) hand, other hand holds head or top handle in place. For ambidextrous tinkerers, whichever hand position feels most comfortable to them. ● Rotate handle clockwise to drill into wood. For brace drill, this is a horizontal turning, for eggbeater drill, it is vertical. ● While bit is in wood, do not let go of drill and avoid wiggling. This can break the bit. ● Binding debris can cause overheating of the bit, or make turning the drill difficult. Back out bit and clear debris as necessary ● Back out bit after the desired depth is achieved.
